John Travolta and late night talk show host Jimmy Fallon recreated the iconic closing dance routine from the 1978 hit movie "Grease" on "The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon" on Wednesday, People magazine reported.
Fallon took the place of Olivia Newton-John in the dance where the characters Danny and Sandy celebrated their relationship at the end of the movie at the Rydell High School carnival, the magazine wrote.
"Like with 'Pulp Fiction,' I grew up with all these kind of novelty dances," Travolta told Fallon. "With 'Grease,' they needed a step for 'You're the One that I Want' at the end. So, I said, 'We used to do the four corners, why don't we do that?’ And the choreographer was like, 'Show it to me,' and I did."
That is when Travolta showed off his "Grease" moves with Fallon following his lead.
Travolta's dance moves are the stuff of movie legend, from "Saturday Night Fever" in 1977, "Urban Cowboy" in 1980, and "Pulp Fiction" in 1994, along with 1978's "Grease."
At the Cannes Film Festival last month, Travolta said, though, it is "Grease" that people repeatedly connect to, according to "Entertainment Tonight."
"This is a film that's so timeless that keeps on giving to each new generation," Travolta said, according to the celebrity show. "When people watch this, they just get happy.
"They want to become the characters they're watching. They want to sing along with it, they want to dance, they want to be part of this film. When mutual enthusiasm comes together and creates an environment you can create almost anything -- and we created 'Grease,'" he continued.
Fans on social media loved the moves.
